This is my sample card for CC586. Vicki is our hostess and she chose garden green, pool party and marina mist for her color trio. Dessert is to make it FatherÂ’s Day.
Good for me since I have a few to make yet. This one is for my hubby and he is my “Clark Kent” aka superman.
My Clark Kent sentiment and glasses are from MFT. I bought them a few months ago and am finally getting around to using them. I die cut the glasses in black card stock 3x and adhered together. I used some glossy accents on top to give them the look of plastic frames.
Also used the MFT Blueprints 18 dies for the other elements on my card. The background dp is from BoBunny –“Santorini Stripe”. Love how it matches the Stampin’-Up marina mist cardstock
I added some candy dots to complete my card. I made the dots from Perler beads and melted them in the oven. I saw a little tutorial on Julia aka artystamper’s blog. They melt in the oven at 325° into this round shape and there is no smell.
Hope you can play along with us this week. Check out the other DT samples for more inspiration.

Mary, this is such a wonderful card. So glad Linda fav'd it! Otherwise I would have missed it. The info on the melted beads is great. Thanks for the link. I had a bunch of those. Hope I didn't give them all to the grandkids! You really used the colors effectively and like everyone, I am in awe of those glasses! They are Super - man!
